curriculum is deliveredDeveloping an inclusive curriculumIn 1997-8 the University of South Australia conducted an eighteen-month inclusive curriculumproject across all programs in the university. The project aimed to develop inclusive curricula byimproving the understanding and practice of faculty and developing guidelines to assist them inrestructuring their courses to become more inclusive. The project was intended to raiseawareness of the issues and influence institutional and departmental policy, not to conductformal research. Its objectives (which formed the indicators against which the project wasevaluated) were to produce guidelines, to provide staff development and to develop and collectresources to assist the growth and extension of
% of the students who did not change inSR and 25% of the students who decreased in SR. Common themes of the courses that werediscussed by the students were international, community, ethics, service learning projects, anddevelopment. The survey also gathered information about students’ participation in volunteeractivities. Students who showed a positive change in SR had the highest average volunteerfrequency scores of 11.1, compared to average volunteer frequency scores of 9.9 and 9.0 forgroups of students with no change or negative changes in SR scores, respectively. The resultssuggest that courses and volunteer experiences may be effective ways to positively influencestudents’ views of SR. On-going research will explore changes in students as

Gradually evolve the course to make it more valuable for students, relevant to what they learn in their fields of major, to their future projects and work.During each semester, we design surveys and regularly offer them to the currentlyenrolled students; analyze the statistics of their answers and get deeper understandingfrom reading their open-ended responses; and immediately apply our findings toteaching.Here we report our work in Fall 2012, when the course structure was changed to enhancethe lab experience, and present the results that reveal: o The initial

Forexample, it has been argued that engineering education should put greater emphasis onengineers’ social responsibility toward "an equal distribution of rights, opportunities, andresources in order to enhance human capabilities and reduce the risk and harms among thecitizens of a society" [4, p. 10]. Thus, complementary education on social justice implications ofcivil engineering may benefit civil engineering education further.We argue that integration of social implications

The first course, ENGR 101: Introduction to Engineering, explores the academicand career options within engineering through hands-on projects that strengthen students’academic preparation for future courses by exploring basic science and math concepts along withproblem solving strategies. Activities also encourage goal setting, develop academic skills, andintroduce students to the social context of engineering.

Ourprogram focuses on professional practice of building design and construction, and the interactionof the students in the two majors is a precursor to what they will encounter upon graduation andentrance into the professions. The programs are currently structured such that students take manyof the same courses at the start of the curriculums, before dividing and concentrating on thecourses that make their majors unique. At the end of the curriculum, the students come backtogether in the capstone design course, where they act on interdisciplinary teams to arrive atsolutions for a semester-long building project.

One of the mostchallenging factors designers must account for is the consideration of stakeholders. Stakeholdersare defined as all individuals who affect and/or are affected by the design and design process [1];hence, they play a major role in contributing to the effectiveness of a design. Stakeholder needs,safety, behaviors, and preferences when interacting with a design will impact whatconsiderations engineers must consider when designing. Overlooking these needs not only canbe detrimental to the overall effectiveness of the final design, but more critically, can haveadverse social
